Vier Kunstschaffende – aus Norditalien, München und Altötting – zeigen in der Ausstellung Traum und Tristesse Werke zwischen Schönheit und Vergänglichkeit. Fotografie, Malerei, Zeichnung und Skulptur erkunden die Polarität von Phantasie und Zerfall, Ästhetik und Morbidität. Die Gegenpole berühren sich und öffnen neue Assoziationen zu Leben und Vergänglichkeit.

Most conversations were non-verbal, but the warmth of the encounters spoke for itself.
